The spring field work is complete.
Technically speaking, there is still more work to be done but I have finished plowing the fields with my AFT so I can now take a break.
We had a light banquet to thank those who worked in the fields with us and prepare for the village’s parade.
I wanted to start the village parade as soon as possible because of the parade outside…..
Since Village One and the other villages will be participating in the village parade, we need to check their respective field work completion too.
Of course, we will also call the titans and lamias from the north and south dungeons so the time for that has already been taken into account.
In the next few days, the civil servant girls are going to inform us of the date.
It will probably be in three days but we will continue to do our respective jobs including preparing ourselves for the event.
Even I have jobs to do myself. However, my priority is to build carriages for the spiderlings.
I’d rather build it when I have time in hand than to rush it later.

Before the village parade, two small incidents happened.
One was that one of the kuros suffered from a stomachache after eating mushrooms.
I panicked, wondering if poisonous mushrooms had gotten mixed with the mushrooms we were cultivating in the village but when I asked what happened, it said that it had snacked on wild mushrooms in the forest.
I’m pretty sure everyone has been taught not to eat wild mushrooms because they are dangerous, right?
You were taught but you tried eating before and you were okay so you thought it would be okay this time too?
Could that mushroom be poisonous because of certain conditions when it was eaten?
「Village chief, I think I know it. It’s called fake egg mushroom desu.」
Ria, who had been examining the mushroom that the kuro had eaten, held out a mushroom to me.
It was whitish brown in color and had the shape of a mushroom you’ll immediately think of if you hear the word mushroom.
This mushroom looks familiar.
No, not in this village but I’ve seen them being sold in stores in Village Five and Shahaato City.
「What they were selling there were egg mushrooms desu.」
I see.
So, there is a reason why there is “fake” in its name.
So, this kuro, who was suffering from stomachache, had eaten egg mushroom before so he was fine but this time, it had eaten fake egg mushroom which poisoned it.
「That should be the case desu」
How strong is the poison?
「Deadly. If you eat it, you’ll die.」
……
I look at the kuro who’s suffering from a stomachache.
「It’s good that it’s only suffering from stomachache.」
……I agree.
I’m going to warn the kuros again.
Mushrooms are dangerous so don’t just eat one if you see them in the wild.
Also, should we tell the store in Village Five and Shashaato?
There are deadly poisonous mushrooms that look like the mushrooms they sell after all…..
「Ah, I’m sure they’ll be fine.」
Hnn?
What do you mean?
「Egg mushroom and fake egg mushroom are reasonably well known so dealing with them is widespread.」
Dealing?
「Cook before eating. The poison of the fake egg mushroom will disappear if cooked enough.」
I see.
So, if you cook the egg mushrooms, even if there are fake ones mixed in it, you will not be poisoned?
「Yes. Well, I hear about occasional casualties because egg mushrooms taste better when they are not cooked……」
Hmm, I don’t know what to say.
「Ahaha」
By the way, how do you tell the difference between an egg mushroom and a fake egg mushroom?
「With this」
Ria pointed at the pattern of the fake egg mushroom.
「If you look at it closely, you can see knots like this. If it has knots, it’s a fake egg mushroom and if it doesn’t, it’s an egg mushroom.」
Now that you mention it, it really has that kind of pattern.
However, you won’t notice them unless you look carefully.
「That’s right. Which means it would be better to cook them all.」
Understood.
I will notify the stores in Village Five and Shashaato City to be careful.
It may be none of my business but I want to reduce the number of casualties.

By the way….
The kuro is still suffering from a stomachache after eating fake egg mushroom.
I tried to cure it using the leaf of the world tree but Kuro and Yuki stopped me.
Idiots who don’t keep their words need to suffer.
If they don’t suffer, they won’t learn.
That’s pretty strict.
However, it’s a deadly poison.
Even if it’s fine now, it might suddenly worsen later.
Use the leaf of the world tree if it’s really about to die?
…..got it.
With that in mind, I decided to leave it to Kuro and Yuki.
The kuro who was suffering from a stomachache looked at me pitifully, but I couldn’t do anything.
Sorry.

The other small incident.
It happened in the ranch area.
It was spring and the horses were running around energetically.
A stallion unicorn running among the horses fell down and broke down and broke its horn, the symbol of a male unicorn.
The stallion unicorn that broke its horn had a distant look in its eyes, although it didn’t seem to have sustained any injury from that fall.
Is it because its horn is obviously broken at one glance?
Originally, its horn was around 80cm long but now that it broke, it’s only around 15cm long.
The stallion unicorn is trying its best to stay calm but…..ah, yeah, it seems impossible.
Ah, it collapsed from its hind legs and fell down.
It’s crying with all its might.
It must have been shocked.
I tried to console it by saying it still has a 15 cm horn on its head but…..
It seemed to have the opposite effect.
Sorry.
I tried to retrieve the broken horn and see if it could be reconnected but it didn’t work.
In any case, I learned that the unicorn’s horn is hollow inside.
I also understood that it is structurally easy to break.
For now…..
Will its horn ever grow back?
Will it?
Or will it stay like this forever?
No, it will grow but the tip will not be pointed?
It will remain broken?
That’s too bad.
Will it be fixed with a world tree leaf?
When I said that, the stallion unicorn’s eyes widened.
Then, it looked at me.
All right, let’s try using the leaf of the world tree.
However, don’t get upset if it doesn’t work.
-0-
Result.
After I fed it with a leaf of the world tree, the stallion unicorn’s horn grew 5cm.
What kind of principle is this?
I shouldn’t think too much about it?
It’s much shorter than before it broke but it looks like a normal horn again.
When the stallion unicorn ate another leaf of the world tree, it grew another 5cm.
Ah, if it keeps eating, it will grow back to its original length, right?
What should we do?
Keep eating?
Or is it enough?
Let it be?
You were proud of your long horn but it was also in the way?
I see.
Don’t fall down again.
With that, I stopped moving to part with the stallion unicorn.
And before I knew it, Loo was already standing beside me.
In her hand was the broken male unicorn’s horn.
「If it grows by feeding it with the leaves of the world tree, does that mean……you can practically get an infinite number of unicorn horns?」
Unicorn horns are apparently coveted items in the magic community.
In other words…..
Unicorn, escape!
Run faster than the wind, be careful not to fall over!
-0-
Those were the small incidents.
At a later date, male unicorns who had broken their horns from all over the world gathered in the village but that’s just a trivial matter.
Ah, but it helped Loo’s mood get better because she brought all the broken horns in the name of medical expenses.
Also, the kuro who had been suffering from a stomachache recovered before the village parade.
Thank goodness.
